    EPISODE 5: How to have a Hopeful Christmas with Sunday Times Bestseller Donna Ashworth

    This week I speak to Sunday Times Bestselling poet and author of new book Wild Hope, Donna Ashworth. Donna’s work has been described as a ‘warm hug’, and I think that’s what this episode feels like - Donna shares with us: * Why we shouldn’t dim our light at Christmas when there are dark things happening around the world * How to use hope to face tough times in our personal lives at Christmas * Why you don’t have to be an eternal optimist to use hope to change your life… Re:Becoming You by Ali Roff Farrar is a reader-supported publication.

    EPISODE THREE: HOW TO SHARE THE INVISIBLE LOAD OF CHRISTMAS (SO YOU CAN CHILL OUT AND HAVE MORE FUN!)

    This episode I speak to the brilliant Suzy Reading. Suzy is a Psychologist and author of many brilliant books including The Self-Care Revolution and Self-care for Tough Times. We’re talking all things Christmas overwhelm, especially for Christmas hosts, or if you are the person who finds themselves with the ‘invisible load’ of Christmas jobs on their shoulders! We discuss how to delegate some of the Christmas load, how to deal with the ‘Christmas Creep’ and how we can intentionally use the time between Christmas and new year to reset and recover.

This holiday season, give a gift that truly grows love and ‘leafs’ a lasting impact. Tiny Forest is an urban tree planting initiative by environmental charity Earthwatch Europe, and they’ve got a wonderful mindful Christmas gift idea for any nature lover! For just £18, you can choose your loved one's favourite tree species and sponsor it in its own Tiny Forest! Choose a meaningful location, receive a personalised certificate, and watch the forest flourish. From a mighty Oak, to the valuable Hazel which is a food source for birds, small mammals, and even deer, the graceful Elm, or the beautiful Rowan, which in folklore has mythical properties, often planted near homes to ward off evil spirits, or even the very Christmassy looking Silver Birch, you can sponsor as many trees as you like - maybe even grow your own Tiny Forest! Why champion a tree? Over 6 million people in the UK lack access to green space close to home. Your sponsorship supports Earthwatch in creating 500 Tiny Forests by 2030, fostering nature in cities and combatting the decline in wildlife highlighted by the 2023 State of Nature Report. Join us in bringing nature back into our urban landscapes. Visit Earthwatch.org.uk to make a difference today.
